of an AK handle from the AK that re-
malned in the eye, the break having
been close TO the iron. The Wood could
not be driven out, and as nails had been
driven IN at the end IL couIi not be
bored out. He drove the bit Of sharp
edge into some moist earth. and then
built a dre around the protesting part.
This wood WAS soon Charred so that IL
was easily removed, The moist earth
so protected the tempered part of the
AK that IL sustained no injury.

China will shortly be supplied with
stamped COINS of her own for the FIRST
time in her history. Tho government
has purchased Of an English manufac-
turer at Birmingham coming presses and
all the apparatus of n mint, which will
be set up in China within a year.
Hitherto the coins mainly in circulation
have been small brass tokens, roughly
cast in sand, about the size OF q half
penny, and perforated with q square hole,
by which they are strung together.
They are Of infinitesimal value, being
equal to the one thousandth part of the
dollar or five shillings.
Tho currency Of higher value is silver
in the form Of balls and bars, the value
of which is calculated by weight. There
is also some paper currency, and Mexican
dollars have circulated freely. The new
machinery will turn out the dollar, and
three lesser coins in silver equal to one
half, one-lfth and one-tenth, and also
the brass coins equal to one thousandth
part of the dollar. The presses will turn
out Q, 200, 900 coins per day, of the value
of G25,G50. The brass coins will retain
tho square hole, which prevailed from
timc immemorial, this being q point
which Chinese conservatism could not

Household o--namentation, In its de-
SIGNS, its meanings and effects, follows
closer on nature models than anything
else I know Of. Tho most modern de-
SIGNS in orrasene and other ornamental
fabrics Gro wavy lines. Nature seldom,
if over, made o straight line. Take, FOR
instance, the human countenance-it is q
good model OF guide; taking the nose as a
center, the eyes shoull be tho same size
and equally apart, the forehead, tho hair
and lower portions of the face ell should
be equally proportional from that center;
or, IS tho head Is higher than the Shout
ders, 80 the center of an article of fur
niturc should DO the tallest point, and the
decorations arranged as near as possible
TO tho above proportions in the matter OF
balance. Blending Of %colors, too, Is i'm
portant in the selection of decorations,
and the nearer we go to nature in this
also have we the most desirable and
commendable selection. The moro / have
investigated the more / am convinced
that nature gave us models which can-
not be improved on.-Globe-D Democrat.

There is IN old German restaurant in
New York which is celebrated among the
Germans, but probably not one out Of a
hundred know Of its existence. 1t is
away over ON the east side of New York
In an ancient. dilapidated looking house.
After climbing q short flight Of broken
stone steps l entered q long, spacious
apartment filled with fully fifty Germans,
all talking together and keeping up n
lively accompaniment with the rattle of
their knives and forks. Several active
walters shouted out the orders In Ger
man, and the numerous dishes on the
bill Of fare were all written in the same
language. Not an American face could
be seen in the entire gathering, and the
waiter. in addressing q customer, took 1t
for granted that ting latter understood the
language of the faS5erland.
A German friend who was with me did
the ordering md some astonishing dishes
were placed before US. A very highly
seasoned soup, containing a quantity Of
diniinutive, flat, imported peas. opened
the fray. Then came a mysterious fish
salad flanked by an equally problematical
dark brown sauce, strongly seasoned
with garlic. After the fish three kinds
of meat, accompanied by half dozen diff
ferent vegetables, were pumped down
upon tho table along with q bottle of ex-
cellent red wine. Roast turkey was then
served, with a salad made of thinly
sliced celery root A dish mado of i'm
ported sausage, cabbage end potatoes was
one Of the luxuries Of tho repast. The
dinner came to IN end with the usual
black coffee and brandy. After dinner
the tables were cleared, cigars lighted
and those who wished to could pass the
balance Of tho evening In drinking beer
and playing cards. When l left tho ut
mosphere was blue with smoke and the
din Of voices louder than ever.-Brook-

In an article on kissing" q subject
which has some interest for women ON
English writer relates how an English
duke who had married his third vito was
one day surprised as he entered the draw

nicl by his spouse throwing her arms
about his neck and kissing him. "81a-
dam" said he, in the chilliest Of tones,
my first wife was q Howard, my second
vito was a Pembroke, and, madam,
neither Of them cver dared attempt such
q liberty" A story is told in the ME
moirs of Adam Black, - the publisher Of
Edinburgh, about q minister who resent
ed his WHO'S kissing him, not on account
of his offended dignity, but on account Of
the day on which the expression wcs
made. The Rev. J.. A. Calhoun, of
Leight, was q man Of extreme solemnity
of demeanor. On one sacrament Sunday
morning his wife, being DESTROYS of hav-
ing him nicely rugged out for the occa-
sion, had his coat well brushed, his shirt
white as snow and his bands hanging
handsomely on his breast, and when she
surveyed her guide man she was SO de-
lighted with his comedy appearance that
she suddenly took him round the neck
and Kissed him. Thereupon the Rev. John
was SO offended by this carnal proceeding
that he debarred his wife from the sacra-

How the Mines Were Lost

Though the Mexican Indians used
every effort to keep secret the where
abouts Of this ancestral treasury, in
course of years many gold and silver
mines of great richness were found. The
instant n mine was discovered tho Span
iards-in whose hands the cross became
always q symbol of wrath and cruelty
developed great solicitude for the souls of
the neighboring natives and proceeded to
''C~hristianize" them after their w
peculiar fashion. Not only were the en-
shaved Indians compelled to ~unrequieted
toll, but were go previously whipped,
burned, set upon by dogs, and otherwise
maltreated, that five times between the
years 1G40 and 1880 they planned to ex-
terminate the hated Spaniards. Each
time their plans were frustrated and their
condition rendered worse, if possible,
than before, until, in 1880, when, goad-
ed to frenzy, the Indians arose in q grand
revolt and succeeded in driving their con-
querors out Of that portion of Mexico.
Then, fearful Of q return of the foe, they
carefully destroyed every vestige of their
former settlements, closed tho entrance
to the mines, and abandoned the neigh
borhood. And to this day-unlesa Lieut..
Flipper has found it-nobody can tell OK
actly the location of that once famous e
Dorado.-Fanny B. Ward in Philadel-

Livery gypsy woman Is q fortune teller,

largely believed of the ordinary duties of

A Story.

A correspondent calls to mind that In
Derbyshire a story was told about fifty
years ago which has some resemblance to
the story OF Tam o. Shanter, as related
or adapted by Burns. Upon a dark even
ing, as a man was riding homeward, he
passed a large house which was oil ablaze
with light. From within came a sound
Of music and dancing. The house, he
knew. wns said to be haunted, and, being
curious to see what was going on, he
went in Mt the door. He was invited by
the jewellers, who appeared to be ordinary
men and women, to supper. According
ly he sat down at the supper table, but
before he began to eat he asked his host
to say grace. The guests said, "Hushl''
but the host did not say grace. Then tho
stranger shut his eyes and said grace
himself devoutly. When he opened them

There are still q few theorists who JUS
tfy polygamy on the ground that moro
ere born into tho world than
men, but the theory has long been cx-
plodcd. August Debel, in his remark
able work, recently translated into Eng
lish, shows that in ten states, with a
population of $50, 000, 900, the excess of
females over males was only 2,5C0, 600;
and when we remember the extent to
which men outnumber women In the
colonies, and the fact hat in India there
arc G,000. coo moro men than women. the
natural inference is that if the inhabi.
tants of the earth wero distributed &C
cording to the sexes men and women
would be found to exist in about equal

pecuLlAalrles or CUSTOMERS.
Dlftouitiea t" DO Overcome by the New
Clnrk-Trlcka Of Trade.

CI"rk-Irlcks of Trade.
Customers have queer peculiarities, -
said an OLD retailer TO an interviewer,
land it takes u long apprenticeship to
wait on all Of them satisfactorily. Now,
l know all the failings of my old Gus
toner, and l can get along with them
without any trouble. But let q new
clerk tackle one Of these, and, not know
ing the peculiar individuals he has to do
deal with, he will soon find himself in
hot water. So, when l get q new clerk,
which rarely happens, for l do not be-
heve in making changes, 1 go over my
list of customers and post him as well as
l can how each will have to be treated to
get along without friction.
Speaking of the peculiarities Of people,
they are almost beyond belief. Now, l
have n old customer, a farmer, who
would not buy anything Of me if l
promptly met him at tho door and asked
him what l could sell him. II l did, he
would leave Inc store at once. / just let
him alone, and he will hang around the
store q long time, watching me wait on
customers md looking at one article
after another, not forgetting to nibble at
the crackers. and cheese. When he has
done this to his hearts content he is
ready to buy, and l generally succeed in
selling him q nice bill OF goods.
another customer is just the opposite
of this one and the moment he steps
into tho store he must be recognized and
treated in such q manner as to make him
believe his trade is more desirable than
that of any one else. Then there is an
other customer who must taste every
thing he buys. Outer, cheese, SUGAR,
salt, tobacco, syrup, pepper, cinnamon,
vinegar, and l almost said coal oil. Tho
latter he would want to smell any way.
That man could no moro buy a bill of
goods without sampling each article than
he could so to sleep without shutting his
eyes.
But it is among the women that l
find the most peculiar customers, prob
ably because they do more of the buying
than the men. Their peculiarities are
legion, and life is too short to tell of
them. There is the one who is afraid
she will be cheated in every purchase she
makes, and will insist on some private
mark by which she can tell that she gets
tho particular articles prepared for her.
'sampling' of this, that and the other
thing to take homo and try, in order to
SEQ if they will suit the old man. She
is almost as bad as the one who wants
everything q little under price because
she does oil her trading with you and
does not trade with your competitor
across the way, and she does think of
giving him a part of her trade. Finally,
there is the young husband and wife who
have just gone to housekeeping, but
their p~eculiarities are too sacred to be
mentioned, and 1 will spare them. l
